2001-05-10 - 11:28 a.m. I've decided on two things that I'm going to do to make my life better: 1. Stop drinking during the week, and on the weekends, stop drinking beer. 2. Get to the gym twice during the week, during the workday, and twice on the weekends. Hopefully, just those two resolutions will help me have more energy, and also help me lose the pounds around my hips and ass that have rendered many items in my closet obsolete. So yesterday I was really tired and hungover (hence, the creation of resolution #1). So I shuffled home from the subway, as quickly as I could, dreaming of my bed. As I crossed the last street in my commute, I noticed a large limo - Mercedes, no less - beginning his turn off 1st Avenue onto the very street I was crossing. Now, I know that driving in NYC is frustrating to some, especially dealing with pedestrians. But…it's a pedestrian city. This limo started to speed up as it turned, causing me to have to jog the last few feet to safety on the other side of the street. As I jumped on the curb, my focus on the front door of my building was interrupted by some strange noise coming from the limo that had almost run me over. I turn to look, and notice the face of the backseat passenger of the white monstrosity peaking out from his now open window. It was an odd experience all together. For a second I thought…did I just miss out on something? If I had slowed down instead of speeding up, and the limo did come closer to hitting me, could I now have a sugar daddy? And then, would it be worth it to risk a couple bumps and bruises for the chance to meet a rich man? No, it's not. I have plans this weekend to meet someone - a former friend - from my past. This person has the tendency to cause my other friends to wince at the mention of his name. My willingness to go out with him makes me wonder about myself. Do I forgive too easily? Yes. That's quite an unattractive quality to have, I think. So beware my friend, when we meet this weekend, you are going to get the straight shit from me about why I still can't forgive you, and what it is about you that ticks me off This is going to be the most stressful brunch happening in the city this Sunday - well, since it's Mother's Day on Sunday, perhaps it won't be the MOST stressful brunch.
